that OT was exhilarating. and that backhander. oh man. beautiful

ya the OT was up and down with speed. Im glad sid scored and embarrassed strome to shut the "mcdavid is better" fans up

Crosby still the best

mcdavid is the best offensive player in the league. Sid is the best player in the league. thats how i see it

Ya I can see your point about McDavid being the best offensive player because he's been racking up more points and his speed is insane, but sid just gets it done when it matters. Game 7, I'm picking Sid 10/10

I still would argue McDavid is better, but Sid still is a very relevant and high end player.

ya its all opinions and hard to determine who is better. would love to see them face off in the finals

McDavid is Crosby's heir, and he cannot take over until the mantle of best player in the leauge until Sid retires (with 10 cups by then)

Too bad The Edmonton McDavid's will never make it their though!

I knew either sid or mcdavid would score the OT winner. It had to be story book fashion. What a goal

Are we not going to look at Crosby's supporting cast vs. McDavid's. It's like a one kid doing well in a class with many students that help him with the material vs. a kid that has to put out everything to learn himself with barely any peer support. McDavid will be better than Crosby soon, maybe not today

Well it’s unfair to discredit Crosby’s talent because of how their management is bringing in talent. Plus it’s not like Crosby is playing with superstars on his line. Other than the powerplay, he plays with Jake Guentzel and Bryan rust. Sid doesn’t need a supporting cast to win faceoffs and play defense, which he’s better than mcdavid at

Oleksiak scored 2 goals while playing RD in one game

It'll be interesting if it continues, otherwise it was just enough luck at the right time like the Penguins seem to get

was this really worth an armchair gm post

Why’d you reply then?

So a defenseman got 2 goals so it’s considered lucky?

Go look up his previous high for a season

Did you not see his goals? He made 2 great plays. Nothing lucky about it. If you want to say pens got lucky because he scored, then why dont you say the oilers got lucky because Chiasson scored 2 goals after only scoring 9 last year?

Chill out

He got 2 goals in a game, when he hasn't scored more than about 5 in a season since he's turned pro.

It's unusual.

So, as I said, it will be interesting to see if it continues.
Either it will continue because something has changed or it was lucky that he did half his annual scoring in one game so that they survived to win in overtime.

Im chilled out lmao. I just dont get how you say pittsburgh was lucky in that game because someone who typically doesn't score had 2 goals. But you didnt say Edmonton was lucky because the exact same thing happened with them in Chiasson
